The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a dominant offseason, but not everything is perfectly falling into place as roster spots dwindle with Opening Day right around the corner. A four-time Gold Glove award winner in the Korean Baseball Organization was expected to be the everyday second baseman for L.

After wrapping their abbreviated Cactus League slate, the Dodgers on Thursday announced their 31-player travel roster for their trip to Japan that culminates with the Tokyo Series against the Cubs from March 18-19.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Hyeseong Kim, the general expectation was he would likely take hold of the starting job at second base. That held particularly true with the Dodgers’ decision to trade Gavin Lux to the Cincinnati Reds.
